Club Rugby TV and Rugby Australia are expected to reach an agreement on the sale of the broadcast rights to the Shute Shield | geerob

Club Rugby TV and Rugby Australia are expected to reach an agreement on the sale of the broadcast rights to the Shute Shield on Tuesday.

RA will not own the rights to the Shute Shield but now has the permission of the Sydney and NSW Rugby Unions, and the Queensland Rugby Union, to shop their premier club competitions to interested broadcasters, as well as a new combined competition featuring the top teams from the Shute Shield and Brisbane's Hospital Cup.RA boss Raelene Castle secured the unanimous agreement of the 19 SRU directors and a majority of the NSW directors.

The predicted buy-out will bring to an end Club Rugby TV's involvement in the Shute Shield, a competition its founder John Murray began streaming in 2013, when the ABC still broadcast the Match of the Day.
